Into the Mystic

Yes I am listening to Van Morrison now.

The old bat upstairs is really making this condo a miserable place to live. She came down and knocked on our front door the other day to tell us we were using the patio door too much and it is annoying. (We think it is this same woman who is responsible for Matthew's truck being towed.) Anyway...I can't believe she said that! She said she has lived here for 11 years and we are the 3rd tenants she has had below her and NOBODY used the patio door as much as we do. I wanted to tell her to piss off, but of course I didn't. All I said was "I didn't realise it was annoying". Lame! But whatever. In my own passive-aggressive way (or really just aggressive) I got her back yesterday. We both pulled into the lot at the same time. She was coming up the walk with grocery bags and I was walking in front of her (cuz I am younger and faster). Now most people (myself included in better days) would have stood there and held the door for her. No...that would be annoying to me. So I let it shut. Now before you think I am totally cruel - she was not Right Behind Me. She was a good oh...15-20 feet behind me. It's not like I slammed it in her face or anything. But she did have to fumble with the keypad to enter the code to open the door. Yeah I know. I'm a bitch.

I think Julia tried to "get me back" Sunday. Or maybe she is just crazy. We went to Matthew's grandma's for Sunday morning breakfast. (ugh) His reasoning was that his dad had a golf club for him and he could pick it up then. Saturday night his mom tried to talk him into going to church Sunday morning. He just stands there. I guess he has to be nice to her, but sometimes I wish he would just stand up for himself. She should respect his beliefs. (or lack thereof) ANYWAY. Julia is always talking about "doing something". She always wants to "do something". So at breakfast I told her I would call her that afternoon and we could do something. Well Matthew and I decided to either go see "American Wedding", "28 Days Later" or the IMAX movies that are showing. We decided on the regular movies. They both started around 4:30. So I called her around 3:15. Talked to Greg. He said ok. Around 3:45 he calls back and asks if we are in a hurry cuz it will probably be a couple hours before they get there. A couple hours? It starts at 4:30. He said Julia was hungry and wanted to eat. So she was eating. I asked to speak to her. He said ok, then came back to the phone and said she didn't want to talk on the phone. I hear her yelling incomprehensible things in the background. Finally he said "Maybe you guys should just go without us". Yeah. You think? Crazy fuckers. Whatever. I don't have time for that foolishness. Well actually I do...but I am not dealing with it.

I have become hooked on Dawson's Creek. TBS shows back to back episodes every morning at 10 and 11am. They started from the pilot last week. Thanks to TiVO I record every episode and watch them at my leisure. I didn't watch much of the show when it was on prime time. I think at first I did, but then stopped. Oh how nice it would be to live in Capeside. I wonder if Wilmington is really as nice as it is portrayed on the show. It looks beautiful. Maybe I will go there someday. I love to seek out movie and TV filming locations. One of my all time favourite movies is Scream. All 3. "Woodsboro" is actually Healdsburg California in Sonoma County. On one of our annual trips to San Fran we drove up to Healdsburg. I am such a geek I know. But we ate our lunch sitting on the same fountain that Billy, Syd, Stu, Tatum and Randy sat on. Now where was I? Oh yeah. Capeside. Pacey is really my kind of guy. He would have so been my boyfriend in high school. Such a cutie.

I miss my youth. I really do. Today on Dawson's Creek it was Friday the 13th. Dawson invited everyone to his house for a seance. I used to do that! Seriously! I would get 3 or 4 of my friends to come over and we would play with the Ouija board and summon all manner of spirits and ghouls. (some are probably still there living with my mom) How I would love to do that now! Just have fun being scared. But I am too old. What a shame.
